what would you say (granted, in many cases this would be one of those letters that you write but don't send)?

We all have our own histories, and I thoroughly enjoy coming here to gain different perspectives on stepparenting. I know our situations vary. The people in these situations vary. Their (and our) behaviors and reactions to these situations vary.

I think that, every now and then, we should all come on here and write a letter directed at skids, DHs, FHs, BFs, and BMs in a way that's anonymous enough so nobody can figure out it's us.

I'm so sad about Jon & Kate. I didn't get to watch the show, but I was so sad to read it.

But I've seen it coming for a long time. Things have just been going downhill for so long and everything has just taken its toll on them.

I hope they'll act like adults for the sake of the kids, both during this time and when (or if) they marry others. I don't know if those kids know, but let's all pray for the kids!

What do you think of Denise Richards: It's Complicated?

What do you think of it? Did you find it more convenient and less stressful? What did you dislike about it?

For those who have received CS through their state, what did you think of it? Was it good? Was your CS ever paid late (this would have been the state's fault)?

I liked it because it saved DH from ever having to write BM's name on a check again. Who wants to write out a check to someone who withholds visitation and mistreats and abuses the kids? Who wants to write a CS check to someone who doesn't use the CS on the kids? Not me!
